Predictions

Head-to-Head

  • Benfica beat Alverca 2-1 away from home in the reverse fixture five months ago in the 2025-2026 Primeira Liga season.
  • Alverca have won two, drawn one and lost six of their nine away Primeira Liga 2025-2026 matches.

Benfica

  • Benfica have scored 23 goals in their 10 Primeira Liga home games in 2025-2026.
  • Jose Mourinho has made his mark on this Benfica team since he took charge in September 2025, turning them into a tough, well-organised team with a pragmatic edge.

Alverca

  • The visitors, who are currently 10th in the Primeira Liga 2025-2026 with 24 points from 20 games, appear to have an identity and are enjoying a decent first season back in the major division.
  • Custodio Castro’s men look to be heading for a safe mid-table finish, while their youthful energy, defensive discipline and ability to counterattack, especially through the wide areas, should give Benfica some problems.

Key Players

  • Vangelis Pavlidis
    • Vangelis Pavlidis is Benfica’s main goal threat, having bagged 19 in 20 Primeira Liga games this season.
  • Milovanovic
    • Milovanovic has scored five in 19 Primeira Liga appearances this term and offers the visitors an outlet as they try to frustrate Mourinho’s men and then hit them on the counter.

Betting Insights

  • Benfica are the overwhelming 1.2 favorites to beat Alverca on Sunday, so much so that the draw is an eye-watering 6.6 and Alverca are major underdogs.
  • Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.65 looks a solid play here as Benfica have been full of goals at home and Alverca have conceded 19 times in nine away league fixtures - an average of 2.11 per game.

Prediction

  • Benfica are unbeaten in ten home league games, winning six and drawing four, and we expect them to claim all three points on Sunday.
  • But there is enough about Alverca to suggest that this game won’t be all one-way traffic.
